U know, it took me 2 and a half hour to get to ORD from downtown Chicago! I took of around 6am and didn't get to the airport till 8:30, I do not know if this is the norm or not, but if this is, then this sucks.
Then it took me a full half hour to check-in when there were only 8 of us in line! I almost missed my 9:20 flight back to DFW!
Then to top it off, the aircraft left the gate on time 9:20am we didn't take off till 9:50am! surprisly it got to the gate in DFW at 11:45am. but still it is only a 1:48 actual flight. and oh, this is funny, the check-in lady had a big grin when she said that this flight is leaving on time, like leaving on time is very rare at ORD these days lol, and also it took this lady a full 10 min trying to print out the receipts.
ORD sucks and I am glad that I will never come back there again
1) If you had taken the CTA blue line, it would have been 45 minutes to ORD regardless of the traffic.
2) Did you check in with luggage or at the gate?
3) The flight did leave on time. 9:20 AM, like you said.
4) ORD sucks? Was that your first trip? A sample size of one is way too small.
Are you sure you're a frequent flyer?
